Black Walnuts are a fascinating part of American food culture. Like French and Italian truffles, they're not farmed, but wild gathered. Hammons brings in nuts that have been hand-harvested across 15 states, primarily in the Midwest. Added to salads, entrees, and desserts, the robust and rich flavors of the American Black Walnut turn everyday dishes into exciting signature creations. Unlike traditional English walnuts, Black Walnuts have a much more intense flavor, giving your recipes a bigger impact. Try them in cinnamon rolls, black walnut ice cream, or stuffing a pork loin. Black Walnuts stay fresh for up to one year when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and up to two years or more when stored airtight in the freezer. This 8 ounce bag holds 1.5 cups of nuts, ready for recipes in large pieces.

I purchased the black walnuts for my Mom, but I did taste one when they were delivered. I am very satisfied with the product, and I look forward to giving them to her.

Black Walnuts

Black walnuts are very hard to find anymore. I've all ready made my brownies and they are delicious. Ordering on line was easy and they shipping was great. I had the walnuts in 2 days.

Gram's Trick

With black walnuts, you gotta fry them in butter before baking. That makes them really sing! Glad to have these back for black walnut and buckwheat pancakes!

Very good, unique flavor

Maybe I'm living in a cave, but I found an old recipe for a black walnut pound cake and had no idea what a black walnut was. I came across these and ordered a bag. They really do make a difference! The flavor is much more "walnuty" and almost earthy. I imagine this is what wild walnuts would taste like. My husband especially like them, saying they made "the cake worth the calories." I'm not sure if that's a indication of how good these walnuts are on their own, or if my poundcake recipe was only saved by the addition of the nuts!
